In The Ghetto |
| You know, my homey Treach from Naughty By Nature once said |
| If you ain’t from the ghetto, don’t come to the fucking ghetto |
| But I’mma let one of our most immaculate tour guides |
| Take us all through the ghetto — my nigga Rick James! |
| + (backup singers) |
| When I was a young boy, growing up in the ghetto! |
| Hanging out on corners, singing with the fellas |
| Looking for the cute chicks, trying to find me big fun |
| Looking for some trouble, or anyone who’ll give me some |
| I was young and crazy! |
| (In the ghetto) |
| Didn’t know what my life would be (In the ghetto) |
| I was dumb and oh so lazy (In the ghetto) |
| Something had a spell on me (In the ghetto) |
| You all know what I’m talking about (Talking about ghetto life) |
| (Talking about ghetto life) |
| You all know what I’m singing about (Talking about ghetto life) |
| Ghetto life (Talking about ghetto life) |
| (In the ghetto) Sure we be taking them chances |
| While we search for the answers we be smoking them cancer sticks |
| Police provoking motherfuckers we dancing |
| And we be dodging them bullets they be popping off at us, shit |
| But yet we always romance the street |
| And fall in love with the hood until somebody come blast the heat |
| Always up to no good, so all of my fam could eat |
| See in the hood we hungry — hey nigga we playing for keeps |
| My soldiers on the block get on it |
| It be good if you flaunt it, we will take if we want it |
| See niggas from the ghetto got a different state of mind |
| With a different kind of hustle and we iller with the grind |
| And develop our muscle until we sicker with the shine |
| In the struggle, thus our money come quicker doing crime |
| I see the way we rep the hood, gotta love me |
| You can take me out the ghetto, but you can’t take it from me |
| Gotta love it |
| + (backup singers) |
| (Talkin about ghetto life) |
| Ghetto life (Talking about ghetto life) |
| You all know what I’m singing about (Talkin about ghetto life) |
| Ghetto life (Talking about ghetto life) |
| (In the ghetto) That’s where we get into that street shit |
| Hustle hard, try to get money quick (In the ghetto) |
| That’s where I got my name from |
| I learned to get money and I got all my game from (In the ghetto) |
| That’s where you eat with a bunch of the wolves |
| And get to hustling as hard as you could (In the ghetto) |
| Until your cake stacking shit’ll get good |
| Throw a block party for the whole hood (In the ghetto) |
| With them burnout cellys |
| Talk crazy, sell drugs in front of Pancho Deli |
| Crackhead chicks still smuggle babies in they belly |
| And then piss in elevators 'til the lobby all smelly (In the ghetto) |
| That’s where I keep my ratchets |
| Get my instincts and survival tactics |
| Ain’t nothing like the hood nigga, I don’t care |
| You surviving in the ghetto you can make it anywhere |
| Gotta love it |
| To my East coast niggas — rep your ghetto |
| West coast niggas — rep your ghetto |
| Midwest niggas — rep your ghetto |
| Down South niggas — rep your ghetto |
| To my East coast niggas — rep your ghetto |
| West coast niggas — rep your ghetto |
| Midwest niggas — rep your ghetto |
| To my Dirty South niggas — rep your ghetto |
| (In the ghetto) Even though they act rude |
| You’ll always find a good chick to hold a brick for they dude |
| Behind the bullshit, me and my clique on the move |
| We honor the code of the street, and live by the rules (In the ghetto) |
| Is where, all of the hood’s at |
| Find the most crooks and they sell the most drugs at |
| Where you find beautiful women and rugrats |
| And some of the most powerful people, I love that! |
| Come mon |

| (Talking about ghetto life) |
| You all know what I’m talking about (Talking about ghetto life) |
| (Talkin about ghetto life) |
| You all know what I’m singing about (Talking about ghetto life) |
| Ghetto life (Talking about ghetto life) |
| (In the ghetto) |
| «Never mind who you thought I was, I’m Rick James BITCH!» |
| «Cocaine is a hell of a drug» |
